Soon, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess rushed to the hot spring palace outside the city.

At this time, the news had not yet spread, only the ninth princess and several valued princes and important ministers arrived.

After meeting, he didn't say anything, and rushed straight to the dormitory.

In the past, the extravagant scene of Yingying and Yanyan gathering is no more, and the huge body of the lord of Xuanxin is like Roshan lying on a soft couch, because he is too fat, it is difficult for him to even lie down, so he can only maintain this posture.

When Li Zhen and the others entered, they saw the imperial doctor commanding the eunuchs to lift the feet of the lord of Xuanxin, and the end of the fat right foot was a diseased foot, and the big toe had obvious ulcers and gangrene.

The Lord of Xuanxin had no strength, panting slightly, and it was difficult to even speak.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Seeing everyone coming in, a palace maid hurriedly came to the side of the lord of Xuanxin and gently shook his body, but the other party only squinted at the people who came in, but there was no reaction.

The imperial physician said, "The king is delirious and unconscious. ”

He immediately instructed the palace maid: "Feed the king some more water to drink." ”

The palace maid did so, and not long after, she saw the lord of Xuanxin open her eyes: "Water...... Water...... I want to drink water......"

The palace maid looked at the imperial doctor, and had to add another cup to the lord of Xuanxin.

But the lord of Xuanxin soon closed his eyes slightly, and wanted to fall asleep in a daze.

The prime minister was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and the princes also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The ninth princess has been cultivating in the blessed land of Xianmen since she was a child, and she is not very kind to the layman of the lord of Xuanxin, but after all, she is the father of the biological body, and she is also frowning when she sees this, and she is a little entangled.

After a while, the prime minister broke the silence and said, "Don't you have some spiritual materials like centennial ginseng, so you have to wake up and say something." ”

The imperial doctor understood, and shook his head helplessly: "I have already used it just now, but it has no effect." ”

Li Zhen said suddenly: "I have a strange thing in my hand from Sanxiu City, maybe it will be useful." ”

The Ninth Princess looked at him with surprise on her face: "Is it the incense powder extracted from that tea turnip intermittent ointment?"

Li Zhen said: "Exactly." ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly said, "Master Horse, do you have a way?"

Li Zhen said: "I don't know, let's try it." ”

Immediately took out the tea and turnip incense prepared in advance from his arms, asked people to find a copper stove, put it on the silver leaf in the middle layer, smoked it with charcoal residual temperature, and then asked a palace maid to fan the wind gently, and used the wind power on the bright side to secretly carry the incense into the body of the lord of Xuanxin.

He did it so skillfully and secretively that even the Nine Princesses who were close at hand could not detect it, and there were many invisible things churning in the air, which were absorbed by the body of the Lord of Xuanxin.

"It smells so good, what is this?"

When everyone smelled the fragrance, they were all refreshed, only to feel that its quality was rich and soft, and there was a comfortable feeling that people were bathed in warm water, and the whole body began to warm up.

The Lord of Xuanxin finally relented and opened his eyes.

"Wake up, wake up!"

"I'm really awake!"

All the people were beaming.

But Li Zhen's heart sank: "It's useless......"

In the information of the Blood Yan Palace, the life expectancy of people is divided into heavenly life and life expectancy, in short, it is the division of the two souls of heaven and earth and the blood spirit life element.

For example, ghosts also have longevity, and ghosts and gods are not immortal.

It seems that it is continued after death, and the will can last forever, but this is not the right way after all, in addition to the three calamities and eight tribulations, there are also the five decays of heaven and man, and at the end of life, even the Daluo Immortal has to die, how can it be offset by medicinal stones or other idle spiritual materials?

Li Zhen took the initiative to show this object, which was also a whim, and he was not sure whether this object would be useful to such a dying patient.

As a result, it was only at this time that it was discovered that the already unhealthy body had consumed too much life vitality, and it would be difficult to absorb the external benefits for a while and a half, and it was too late.

He had to have this lifespan to slowly melt and absorb these yang righteous qi, and if he continued to forcibly contaminate it, he might have to transform his body into an incorruptible flesh reishi.

Such a fat bunch of meat reishi......

Li Zhen felt cold when he thought about it, and quietly dispersed the fragrance of tea and turnips, and stopped acting.

The destiny of heaven is difficult to fight, and the only way to cultivate immortals is ......

Sure enough, cultivating immortals and asking is the right way, and the rest are all inferior.

But in any case, the spirit of the Lord of Xuanxin has improved a lot and has begun to return to the light.

He squinted at the crowd, his mind was clear, and he spoke eloquently: "Very good, you are all here." ”

"Father's ......"

"The King's ......"

The lord of Xuanxin waved his hand, and said weakly: "People who know the destiny of heaven after fifty, what is the condition of their own body, this king already knows, take this opportunity to explain the matter, and save trouble." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the second prince who was standing aside: "After I die, the king, you will do it, and you will continue to do the same, and listen to the opinions of the prime minister and the subjects in case of trouble." ”

The second prince was sad on his face, and when he heard the words of the lord of Xuanxin, he hurriedly responded: "Son, remember. ”

"Sixth, seventh, eighth, you are the same as me, you are greedy for enjoyment, you can see the treasures that don't matter to my name, and there are other sects who want to share a little, don't think about eating alone all day long, but the spiritual materials have to be left to the second child to buy and cultivate, you can also understand." ”

The named princes didn't know whether they were happy or sad on their faces, and hurriedly thanked them.

Lord Xuanxin looked at the Ninth Princess again: "Old Jiu, you have been blessed since you were a child, and you can have a future, unlike us ordinary people......"

When he said this, he sighed lightly: "I won't say much about mundane things, I also left a few spiritual materials for you, Li Zhen, you can also pick some incense burners and spices, I seem to have a magic stove in my hand, and I will look for it in the palace treasury when the time comes." ”

The other children also shared some property and land, which is a resource belonging to the royal family, even if the Xuanxin Kingdom declines in the future and changes the dynasty, they can still shrink into their own fiefdom and be the lord of the city, and be a strong and powerful, so as not to become a common people.

Today's many princes and nobles, and princes from all over the world have also come over like this.

At the end, the lord of Xuanxin said: "Those concubines who have no name are released from the palace, give some gold and silver, and go home, you who don't have a home can also accept it, don't worry about people's words, it's better than being buried." ”

The countries of Xuanzhou have a funeral system, because immortality is not ethereal, but a real immortal cultivation fruit, mortal princes are envious, but they can't achieve it, so they have to pursue and emulate it in the tomb system.

Death is like life, which is a major principle of the funeral of princes and nobles.

This can be regarded as a person's death, and his words are also good, everyone knows it, and all promises are made.

In fact, all the big and small things have already been arranged, and the lord of Xuanxin Country ordered someone to take the testament written before, confirm it with the seal again, and start a family routine with everyone.

Soon after, he fell asleep in a daze and never woke up.

As a person with a foreign surname, there is no need to mix too much, and soon after he left the palace with his wife, who had just been promoted to the eldest princess, and let the new king who succeeded him busy with the follow-up matters.

He has no family relationship with the former lord of the country, and he has been prepared for his death, so he doesn't have much feeling about it, but he is faintly worried that the current domestic disaster is serious, and the local government is weak, reckless and strong, and it is really not a good time to die.

If the second prince can't take charge of the government as soon as possible and stabilize the people's hearts, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble next.

In the carriage, the ninth princess snuggled in Li Zhen's arms and said softly: "I didn't expect my father to leave like this, his condition has been serious in the past few years, but I haven't visited much, will it be too much?"

Li Zhen said: "People have limitations, you have no mother concubine many years ago, and it is normal not to see him if you are cultivating in the blessed land of Xianmen." ”

The Ninth Princess sighed: "It's useless to talk about this now, but I do understand a little bit why the ancestor still thinks about the old love and wants to take care of the Xuanxin royal family." ”

Li Zhen said: "Really?"

The ninth princess said: "Immortality is not easy, and the descendants of children are the sustenance of the Taoist system and the continuation of the bloodline, and only in this way can we fight against death." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Zhen's hand, clenched it tightly, and became silent.

Li Zhen didn't know what the Ninth Princess was thinking, but seeing her cowardly appearance, he could only hug her tightly and comfort her speechlessly.

In the next few days, the new king ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the country, and successively implemented a series of policies to reduce the burden and care for the people, but showed a little more diligence than his father.

It is a pity that the south has long been eroded, and the situation has not improved in the slightest, but has worsened on the contrary.

Some time ago, Yanshan City, which has attracted the attention of all parties, actually won the key battle of encirclement and suppression by the official army and won a good situation.

Those who followed the example of the divided city-states, the counties and counties also gained power one after another, and their arrogance was blazing.

What is even more surprising is that the third son of the first king, the Marquis of Huaijiang, who received the title early, actually stood up to question the new king, all kinds of tampering with the will, fornicating with the palace people, violating human ethics, and the hat of chasing wind and shadows was buttoned up, which made the government and the opposition shake.

Even in Li Zhen's house, there was a middle-aged monk with a blue robe and a lotus crown who handed Huaijiang Hou's greeting note and asked to see him.

Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess couldn't figure out each other's origins, but when they saw that the matter involved the third prince, they discussed it and still came forward to meet.

This person has a graceful temperament, gentle and elegant, and looks like a well-educated scribe, and he senses that a large group of people are not concerned about the side of the wall, and he bows his hand and says: "In the lower road number Qingsong, it was originally a scattered cultivation of idle clouds and wild cranes, and recently on a whim, I watched the sky at night, and found that Xuanxin had a great omen......

Li Zhen smiled coldly and interrupted the other party: "Qingsong Dao people, don't treat me as an ignorant fool, what kind of night observation of the sky, the omen of great evil, such a technique of deducing the heavenly machine, even the great monk is difficult to master, how can you have such a skill in casual cultivation?"

Qing Song smiled: "That's not necessarily, the creation of heaven and earth, adventures to people, is it only for the great monks to enjoy? ”

"Oh?" Li Zhen seemed to smile when he heard this, "In that case, what do you dare to ask Daoyou?"

Qingsong Daoren smiled confidently, but the words he said were terrifying: "In my humble opinion, Xuanxin's national qi has been exhausted, and he will die soon!"

Li Zhen's face changed: "Bold! The number of Xuan Xin Qi is determined by the Immortal Master of the Immortal Gate, how can you discuss it in vain if you are a loose cultivator?"

Qingsong Dao said: "That's not necessarily, we are also monks in the Xuanxin Kingdom, how can we not talk about it?"

Li Zhen said: "Come on, blast out this mysterious demon for me!"

As soon as the order was given, many guards rushed in, and their swords were tense.

Qingsong Daoist laughed, his body flew out, and a cloud of white smoke like cotton wool was born under his feet.

"Li Ju Ma Fan Fetus does not know the heavens with the naked eye, thinking that this Taoist is a demon, and this Taoist does not blame you, but in my opinion, Your Excellency is a lucky person, he said that he must take the weathered dragon and soar into the sky.

Don't speculate today, don't pass it for the time being, he will talk about it again in the future. ”

After saying that, he rode away in a graceful and chic manner, leaving only a large group of guards staring at each other, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"That seems to be a mirage cloud refined by Fujun Shengyunxiang, where did this person come from?"

Not long after, the ninth princess walked out, waved away others with a solemn expression, and quietly reminded.

Li Zhen said: "I can see it, so I didn't force the guards to attack, this person's origin is only afraid of some problems, maybe it is the same as the last time the people of Zhu Yuan took me, from the same sect and the same sect!"

The ninth princess said: "I'm also worried that this is the case, how can the third brother get mixed up with these people?"

Li Zhen didn't think it was strange: "Maybe it was promised to him alone." ”

When the ninth princess heard this, she sighed softly, but she didn't say anything.

It could be that simple.

As the so-called monarchy is immortal, whether the legitimacy of a dynasty can be widely recognized depends on whether the real people who rely on it as a backer are strong enough.

Huang Yunzhenren, as a veteran monk, is naturally strong enough, and her bloodline has enjoyed the Xuanxin Kingdom for three thousand years, which can be said to be prosperous.

But as the so-called is too much, one person controls a place for too long, whether it is for the sect, or for himself, it is a disadvantageous situation for others, and the immortal sect must also introduce a competition mechanism.

This time, Huang Yunzhen retreated and cultivated, if he succeeded, he would be a master of the Yuanying Infant, and if he failed, he would be old and decayed, and he would only have a few hundred years left to live if he did not die.

Some time ago, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess also laughed and said that it was a big deal that this Xuanxin Dynasty was replaced and replaced by the relatives of other Jiedan Zhenren to take charge, which shows that they have realized in their hearts that this great Xuanxin will be finished sooner or later, and it is only a matter of time.

But if you really want to be poked by outsiders, you may see it in your own generation, and you will be tempted by people with ill intentions, and it is really difficult to be light.

Seeing that the ninth princess had a worried face, Li Zhen comforted: "First ask what the Xianmen side has to say, and the ancestor may have something to mention." ”

As a result, when asked, the ancestor was also silent.

After a long time, he said quietly: "There are indeed people in the sect who want to take advantage of my retreat to seize the feudal country, but I didn't expect that they would come to the door to test it. ”

"But it's not important at the moment, this matter has nothing to do with you husband and wife, what he wants to know is whether you have ambitions or not, and whether it will become an obstacle. ”
